somedays i forget what a nerd i can be.

today in class/"work", a girl realized it's the last day of july, which means it's...

harry potter's birthday!

"i'm gonna bake a cake!"

i said.

really? really? you're gonna bake a cake for a fictional character.

no, i'll bake it for me (and my family who will help me eat it)

in honor of a fictional character.

hell yes.

don't get the wrong idea. good books, sure. the sixth movie, that's out now, is wonderful. a huge smile was spread across my face the whole time i was watching it (you know, except when smiling was inappropriate).

actually, hp was just a good excuse. i've been wanting to bake something for, well, several days now, which is a difficult inclination to not feel guilty about pursuing when the surprisingly-not-too-hot-but-not-like-cool-either days of summer are upon us chicagoans. i feel bad about heating the house. but i got home and found the awesome vegan chocolate cake recipe that i used for my mom's birthday and baked it up quick while no one was around to protest 350 degrees.
